Midwestrn Cuban Comics by Odin Cabal

(mccomics.tumblr.com) At first the raw art and crayon-colored cover might imply some kind of shoddiness or even an intriguing outsider vision, but the fact is, the writing, character development, dialogue, and story construction here is so wonderful and compelling that this is simply a top quality comic, with no qualifications necessary. The art does its job! I feel a little bad comparing this to Love and Rockets because it might seem i'm doing so because both books have Latin roots and a big-boobed heroines, but Cabal owes surely some aesthetic debt to Los Bros. But he also is a true original and an impressive self motivator. I hope more people get hip to this gem.
